The best story to come out of Galaxy Quest actually involves Star Trek Actors. Patrick Stewart didnt want to see it at first, he thought from what had been put out there that it was going to make fun of Star Trek, in a harsh way. Well one night Johnathan Frakes calls up stewart and says "You HAVE to see this movie on a weekend in a packed theatre". So Stewart went out the next weekend to watch the movie.

He had to take a break in his trailer it made him so upset and Alan Rickman quipped "He just experienced acting for the first time."

"The Orville" might be the closest thing for a tv show version of Galaxy Quest.

This film is widely regarded as one of the top 5 Star Trek films. Now that shows you how well this movie resonated with the fans of Star Trek. As many say it's a love letter to Trek. Fun Fact: Enrico Colantoni (Mathezar) pretty much made up the voice, the mannerisms, etc. of the Thermians. The director was so blown away by Enrico's reading that he had the rest of the Thermian cast copy and learn from him.

One thing that few people notice is that Jason actually refers to Guy as "Fleegman" at one point on the desert planet. Since Guy never got around to actually _telling_ them his last name this time around, this implies that Jason heard it way back when they were filming episode 81 and has remembered it ever since, even though Guy's role was a one-off and he got killed off 5 minutes into the episode.

This is the really interesting history about Tony Shaloub's character being the way that he is, quoted by Shaloub. "That was an interesting situation, too. I had first gone in to meet the director for the role of Guy Fleegman, Sam Rockwell’s part. Crewman #6. That was the initial meeting. And then I found out a little while later that Sam was going to do that, and that was great. And then Dean called me up and said, “We would like you to do this guy Fred Kwan.” And I said, “Well, no, that’s an Asian guy. I can’t play an Asian guy! Why don’t you get an Asian guy? There’s a lot of guys out there who could knock this out of the park!” He said, “No, no, no, we think you should do this thing.” And I said [Sighs.] “Well, I can’t play an Asian guy. I won’t play an Asian guy. But I will play a guy who plays an Asian guy.” So Dean said to me, “Why don’t you take a look at the pilot for Kung Fu?” You know, the David Carradine show? “Because that was a guy who wasn’t an Asian guy playing an Asian guy.” This got really convoluted. [Laughs.] So I watched David Carradine, and then we found out that there was this rumor-I don’t think it was a rumor, I think it was a legend-that David Carradine just smoked a lot of weed on that show. That was the thing. That’s how he was able to channel that kind of Zen, unflappable character. So we decided, “Well, maybe that’s what happened to Fred, too: He just became this kind of burnout.” And then we just kind of rewrote it as we went along. Dean and the writers, we just kind of made it up as we went along, based on that idea: that he’d smoked an enormous amount of pot.

You should definitely catch "Never Surrender", a documentary about Galaxy Quest.

There was supposed to be a scene cut of Tony's character smoking a joint just before they got teleported to the ship. He was a stoner and played it that way but the movie got edited by the studio making it more family friendly. Sigourney's "screw this' line was dubbed over but Tony's entire character was played 'high' so they just cut references to his usage.

Alan Rickman was lost way too soon. He's absolutely brilliant as the super computer in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and this sci-fi homage. Everybody remembers him in the best Christmas movie ever made (Die Hard) and as Severus Snape in Harry Potter. But he was great in small roles, also.

The original edit (which was never a complete edit btw) was NEVER shown in a theatre, or anywhere else, to the public. The scenes were shot, but never assembled into a working edit. Anyone that tells you otherwise, is mis-remembering, just going with what others say on the internet, like a 'Mandela effect', or, just flat out lying.

i forgot sam rockwell was in this. he's so underrated. i personally have him in my top 3 favourite actors of all time.

Just a brilliant script! Great casting and just a fun time! So glad people are finding this movie! My fav jokes are "miners not minors".. and " let's get out of here before one of those things kills guy!".. just so funny! Everyone is my fav!!

Tony was clearly my favorite character because of his attitude towards it all. Sigourney would be a second because she is Sigourney, after all. Also, she had some of the best lines. I guess because she is a sci fi legend they could not resist having her take a few shots at the genre. I never really thought about who my favorite alien was.

For a long time I thought Tony Shalhoob's character was always so calm because Scotty was always so over-excited and dramatic. After about 10 rewatches I finally figured out he was just stoned 🤣

Love that you pointed out the "Well FUCK THAT" overdub - I've read both ways (that they intended that all along vs. they were forced to censor it), but I don't care - it was a laugh out loud scene the first time I saw it in the theater! Great scene in one of the most surprisingly good movies I've ever seen!

They weren’t forced to censor it, the studio decided to seek a PG rating instead of PG-13 to help the movie reach a wider audience and they dubbed it, but didn’t shoot an alternate, so it’s so obvious. Just one of the quirks that makes this movie amazing

This film does get to another level of funny with you two guys 😂😂😂

Thanks for viewing this movie! Galaxy Quest is one of my favorites. You guys reaction was priceless! Thanks for all the great content. 🤠👍

One of our familie's favorite movies. My daughters loved watching this growing up. Im glad the studios decided to go with PG13 version. Great reaction as always ❤😊

I love Jason's surprised and satisfied smile after defeating Sarris's ship. He realized that he actually had it in himself.

Definitely recommend Three Amigos too! Did this same plot line first.

One of the funniest movies ever. I miss Alan Rickman!!

Love this film every time I watch it. Rickman's performance reminds me that you NEED to watch Kevin Smith's Dogma. Brilliant

It saddens me how so few people react to Enrico Colantoni. Did no youtubers ever watch "Just Shoot Me", "Flashpoint" or "Veronica Mars"? Anyway, the guy is amazing as Mathesar! Hilarious and touching. He was the one who came up with all the mannerisms. The director told the rest of the Thermians to just do what Enrico does, because he thought it was so damn funny. 😁

whenever i see a savings deal I always think (in a dull voice) "by grabthars hammer....... what a savings" LMAO

How did they film this? Every single time Rainn Wilson speaks, I crack up. I have acting training, and I wouldn't make it through a scene with him. LMAO Great reaction! This movie is always a pleasant surprise.

The casting director really earned their pay on this one. Not only the top line cast, but even most of the Thermians have gone on to be constantly working and in some cases get iconic roles of their own. Plus Justin Long.

The reason that Tony Shaloub was so chill was that he just smoked a joint. The studio made the director cut that scene. Once you know that, all his behavior makes sense. Also, the studio insisted on editing the word fuck and made Sigourney Weaver say screw instead. The director was so annoyed he left the original take in so everyone knows what she said.

@Verasoul yeah, you are right, but I am getting sick and tired about all decisions being strictly on a monetary basis and not letting the director make the movie they want.

I want to see a creative genius' vision and not something done by a studio committee.

Sooo glad I found this channel - you two are the most adorable couple and your reviews are always candid and fun. It's... almost like watching a movie with your mates. Oh, and Galaxy Quest is the legit funniest SF comedy ever made, and an all-time classic. By the Hammer of Grabthar... what a savings.

I watched this as a kid knowing jack about Trek; only watched a few TNG episodes in passing my parents had on. Don't think I ever made a Trek connection back at the time. This was instantly one of the best movies I had ever seen, and having watched nearly all of the Trek that was out at the time now, I'm so happy that the experience has only gotten richer, and completely holds up.

As a fan of star trek, I love this movie so much. 😄

What I loved was afterward; when a bunch of friends cosplayed as Thermians for Comic-Con(don't know the year). Rainn Wilson apparently adopted them as his entourage for part of the weekend. Currently still looking for the video(s)of that; especially one where they were all watching Galaxy Quest together and just being Thermians. 😎👍

Enrico Calantoni (head Thermian) invented the alien mannerisms and held classes for the other actors. Supposedly, Tony Schaloub's (spl) character was high through the whole movie as his coping mechanism for forced early retirement. He was also named Chen so when the aliens called him out he squinted his eyes to stay in character. Love the movie and you guys did a great reaction. Thanks.

Yes, Officer Chen was stoned. This was filmed as an R rated movie and the studio changed their minds. The scene with the joint was cut. Also, the idea of Tony Shaloub playing a guy named Chen was poking fun at David Carridine in Kung Fu.

@@curtismartin2866 My good man, I think you will find they were poking fun at Chekov from the original Star Trek show. He was supposed to be Russian, but obviously wasn't. "Nuclear Wessels" is a famous phrase that he used that is not at all Russian. Yeah, yeah.. it's the future and accents change over time and that's always the canonical reason but there's no way that was a conscious choice when it was filmed. Sticks out like a sore thumb. The thing that you are thinking about is that "Tony Shaloub" got inspiration for acting stoned from David Carridine's performance in "kung fu: the legend continues", but it didn't have anything to do with the race-swap, that was the scriptwriter.

Finally you watched this comedy gem!

"And it exploded..." An iconic line delivery.

A classic in every sense of the word. Great film.

"Writer-director David Mamet, in his book Bambi vs. Godzilla: On the Nature, Purpose, and Practice of the Movie Business, included Galaxy Quest in a list of four "perfect" films, along with The Godfather, A Place in the Sun and Dodsworth."

@13:23 If u noticed, Sigourney got spooked by Sam's unexpected scream. She obviously didn't expect that. 😂😂😂

Tony Shaloub's character is actually stoned the entire movie. You can see smoke coming out of his pod when he is transported to the ship. He showed up on set with that brown paper bag full of snacks and told the director, "I think my character is in here." They didn't hire him for lines, since he had the fewest of the cast, they hired him because of his physical comedy.

Can not really choose a favourite from the good guys, though Mathesar is brilliant. My favourite of the movie may well be Robin Sachs as General Sarris. A distinguished actor in his own right both in the UK & US though you could never recognise him as Sarris. He also had played in the Star Trek TV series - THOUGH of course he may well come into second place behind Alan Rickman, so brilliant in everything he did. Have admired him since I first noticed him in Truly, Madly, Deeply. Worth watching, like "Ghost" but the English version. Both made in 1990

Robin, who passed away some years ago, is also best known for playing devious warlock Ethan Rayne on some episodes of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer".

Enrico Colantoni as Mathesar, the leader of the Thermions, gives us a one-man master's class in comedic character creation as he single-handedly set the character and tone for the way to play the Thermians. The other actors followed his lead as he was told he had free reign to create the mannerisms and such.

Enrico Colantoni (who played Mathesar) based his speech patterns off a vocal practice he did before auditions

Tony Shalhoub is just so nonchalant about everything and I love it LOL 😂

Guy being completely genre-savvy is one of the best gags. Him not getting shot during Serras's camouflage ambush is one of the more subtle jokes.

I saw this in the theater with my brother. We had low expectations going in and it was top 5 of all time when it was over. Incredible cast, great script, and the VFX still hold up.

I saw this movie so many years ago and I remember really enjoying it, but this vicarious rewatch really reminds me how awesome it was. Glad you chose it and that you liked it too! 👍

I only just noticed and I've repeat watched for years. When taken to the ship in the first place, when guy screams, look at Sigourney. She almost jumped through the roof

_You blew it!_ The DVD has the alternate audio soundtrack of all actors speaking in _Thermian._ _Ar, ar, raaaa!_ A hilarious end of a hilarious movie!

"Well fuck that" is my alltime favorite Sigourney Weaver moment. It could only be topped if she had had gotten her wish to film the final confrontation from Alien while completely nude. She did get the opportunity for that during A Map of the World.

24:05 - Oh, he's got more than just snacks in that "snack bag." I swear, Shaloub's character is so totally high this entire film.

Apparantly, I think I've heard, that Tim Allen needed a moment after filming his apology to Mathizar, and Alan Rickman quipped at him something along the lines of "Oh, Tim has discovered acting!"

Each character has a wonderful story arc, from the Commander to Malthazar, to the nerdy kids, and all of the crew. Everyone is given a great story. Galaxy Quest is one of my favorite Star Trek movies, and millions of Trekkies agree. I've been to a few Trek and Sci-Fi conventions, and I love how this movie is a dedication to the fandoms that make these franchises great, and why they've lasted decades. At the time of release, there was a mockumentary about the original series with all of the actors from this playing their actor characters talking about the show. You can find it on KZread, and it is hilarious. There was talk of a sequel or reboot, but Alan Rickman died before they could get it together, so the idea of a follow up was dropped.

You guys realize the gag with Tony shalhoub's character is that he was stoned with the munchies the entire time.
